Best effort. Everyday.

Grade 3 Wax Museum

It’s here!!! Our 6th Annual Grade 3 Wax Museum! Before you do anything, put May 29th on your calendar, as we will have a dress rehearsal during the school day, and our museum will open at 6:30 that evening…

Available below are the requirements, rubrics, and other support materials. If there is something else you need added to this page, let me know and I’ll put it up. This is a big project, and students will need support both in the classroom and at home. The payoff is HUGE — wait until you see what these kids are capable of! VERY exciting!!

I can’t wait for the living wax museum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to be either Jonny Appleseed, John F. Kennedy, or Edgar Allen Poe.
If you could do it who would you be???

Those sound great — I’ve never had anyone do Edgar Allen Poe. Another great choice is Temple Grandin – that is who I would pick if I had the choice. Kendyl & Carson watched her movie this past week and were impressed by her.

Chapter 14?? I will have to get another book ready for you soon!! I’m glad you are enjoying it!!

You made me think of when I was your age and my parents could never get my nose out of a book. They would call me for dinner 2 and 3 times, and sometimes I still didn’t hear them. I loved to read then, and I still do now.

I miss you already!! I remember when Monique was in the Wax Museum and she looked beautiful as Rosa Parks. I can’t wait to see how you put together your Clara Barton presentation. Clara believed in helping other people, and I know that is something that is important to you. I think you will do an amazing job.

Lots of practice – but I KNOW you can do it!!!

PS: Clara Barton died 2 days before the Titanic sank – isn’t that amazing??

Hi!
I went to the media lab at m.i.t,but we ended up exploring most of it. My favorite part was the ping-pong place. Thats a big room with a ping pong table,along with balls and the racket thingies that you hit the ball with. there is a projector above it that makes pictures of fish swimming around. the cool thing is that when you hit the table where there’s a group of fish they get scared and swim away!!!!

Hello! I am wanting to do this project with my 2nd grade GT class for President’s Day. Is there any way that I can get a copy of this sent to me? I’d appreciate it! I can’t wait to do this idea with my kiddos! Great idea and very creative!

Hi Nicky,
I just sent off those word docs to the email you used for this comment. Since moving to a new computer, the formatting in the documents do not open correctly in my computer anymore. So, I’m not sure what they will look like on your end or how useful they will be. I hope your Wax Museum goes well!
Take care,
Suzy
